The fact weighs heavy on me that I have all the spiritual learning that I am ever going to need...and still I do it so poorly.
I have had my full measure of spiritual learning from the time first I heard and believed: God loves me. He loves the one I less than love just as much as he loves me. I must, too. And, finally, I must return his love to him...equally and in full measure.
The reason the fact weighs heavy on me is that I'm forgetting that is God's job. It is God who is love, God who lives within us and loves through us, as us, for us...in spite of us.
And Lucy frowns. There it is. That is my job...keeping Lucy reined in. With love. Trying to rein in our ego by use of anger, hate or tears is slip-sliding down that wrong road again.
It's all in love God wholly and completely, and love equally all others...including our own self.
That is the sum and substance of spiritual growth, and still more spiritual growth, according to me.
Thank you.
